In the center of this thesis is Andrić's short story called „Pismo iz 1920. godine“, which is considered as an inspirational prototype, or as a palimpsest, in which several contemporary literary epistles are printed. Accordingly, this thesis addresses Andrić's narrative opus, as well as the problems of the critical approaches to which we come from in the contemporary readings of his „Pismo“. Afterwards, it will be approached by a comparative analytical reading of the selected texts: „Pismo“ by Miljenko Jergović, „Drugo pismo iz 1920. godine“ by Muharem Bazdulj, „Pismo iz 1938. godine“ by Alma Lazarevska and to the „Pismo iz 1972. godine“ by Petar Šegedin. There are literary texts comparable to „Pismo iz 1920. godine“ on several levels - first of all with their title alluding to Andrić's text, then by repeating the compositional and structural solutions from his text (most often this is the framework story with the storyteller introducing the title letter to the historical context), and ultimately by placing the central motive of hatred in the context of contemporary wartime violence, sometimes directly contradicting the views of Maks Levenfeld.
